Prototype Information List

[Tempest]

Ok, I've been toying around with the idea of trying to catalog all known Atari 5200 and 2600 prototypes. I want to list the different dates and versions, the label text, and any differences from the final product. I've started a list using some information I gathered awhile back, but I'm having trouble coming up with a format. Here's what I have so far (I hope this shows up right).

Aww crap. It didn't work right. Anyway, imagine all that information being nicely spaced out and readable. I'll try and throw something up on my webpage tonight so you can all see what I'm talking about.
